Lying under oath is perjury. perjury is a crime. perjury by a president is an impeachable offence. The subject of the lie does not matter.
he was never convicted of lying under oath ... thats something your right wing nut jobs leaders want you to believe ... he settled out of court for giving misleading testimony, which iby the way sn't lying under oath... and it was a misdemeanor not a felony ... pull you head out of your ass and do some god damn research ...
He was impeached for lying under oath, that constitutes a conviction. He wasn't kicked out of office because the congress failed to get the votes for that.
Impeachment is the political equivalent of an indictment, you idiot.
Then it goes to trial in the Senate,
where Clinton was acquitted of all charges.
There was no acquittal. The Senate just did not reach the 2/3d majority to impeach him. He was later found guilty of lying in FEDERAL COURT AND DISBARRED!!!!!
no he was never convected in federal court for lying ... I challenge you to prove that false accusation if you can
heres how it ended
On November 13, 1998, Clinton settled with Jones for $850,000, the entire amount of her claim, but without an apology, in exchange for her agreement to drop the appeal.
Robert S. Bennett, Clinton's attorney, still maintained that Jones's claim was baseless and that Clinton only settled so he could end the lawsuit and move on with his life. In March 1999, Judge Wright ruled that Jones would only get $200,000 from the settlement and that the rest of the money would pay for her legal expenses.
Before the end of the entire litigation, her marriage broke apart. She also appeared in the news media to show the results of a makeover by
Daniel C. DiCriscio and a
nose job paid for by a donor.
In April 1999, Judge Wright found Clinton in
civil contempt of court for misleading testimony in the Jones case. She ordered Clinton to pay $1,202 to the court and an additional $90,000 to Jones's lawyers for expenses incurred, far less than the $496,000 that the lawyers originally requested. so please show us where he was convicted of lying under oath
